Sexism is the discrimination of people based on their sex. Pharr argues, that even deeper than that sexism is the result of fear from the dominant group of the loss of power over the subordinate group. She then goes onto explain how homophobia acts to this fear of loss of power and therefore strengthens sexism. Pharr’s main reasoning’s were the isolation of gay and lesbian people from society, the association of being a lesbian with being anti-male, and the association of being a gay man with being feminine and inferior.…
